(Closed) DIY ceremony music – what are you using?

We are planning on having a friend operate the music for us. We know what songs we want, so we will either load them on an iPod or cd or something with a good set of instructions for him. But I’m not sure what to actually play the music on as far as speaker systems go… our ceremony is in an indoor garden atrium type place with really high ceilings and very open. I’ve heard amazing things about Bose speakers, but I don’t know if that would be enough for our space. And what about placement of the speaker? We are obviously going to test this all out at the rehearsal, but since that’s the day before it doesn’t leave much time for error. I’d like to get some backup plan ideas or input from brides who have done this!

We had our DJ handle all the sound for the ceremony. I’m not sure what, exactly, he used, but it worked great. So I’d ask your DJ because, in addition to the music, you’ll need at least 1 microphone for the officiant and likely another for you/hubby.

@JenGirl: Right thanks, I forgot to mention that. We are only having a DJ for the reception but and the ceremony. But part of our package is the rental of a ceremony wireless microphone system which is a microphone and some kind of speaker that looks professional. I’m not sure if we can hook up to that somehow to also play the music, so I think it might be easier to deal with separately.
